 Ford recalls over 100,000 vehicles for possible fire hazard


Ford is recalling more than 110,000 vehicles in the U.S. due to a potential fire risk linked to a faulty engine block heater.

The recall, announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Jan. 15, affects certain 2013–2019 Ford Escape, Ford Focus, and Lincoln models, along with 2,633 engine block heaters sold as accessories. The defective heaters can crack and leak coolant, which may cause a short circuit when plugged in and increase the risk of fire. The parts can be identified by numbers CV6Z-6A051-CA and CV6Z-6A051-AA.

Owners are advised not to plug in their block heater until it is replaced. Dealerships will contact customers with instructions for returning the part for a full refund or for a free replacement once the updated part becomes available. Signs of the issue may include coolant spots on the ground, reduced cabin heat, overheating of the powertrain, low coolant warnings, heat damage to wiring, or a smell or smoke near the heater.

As of Dec. 3, 2025, Ford reported 12 alleged vehicle fires linked to the problem but said there are no known crashes or injuries. Vehicle owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. The company’s recall identification number is 26S02.
